Pros
Excellent employee benefits. Very competitive compensation packages. Work Life balance and flexible hours. Growth Opportunities within the company are plenty if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and explore different divisions within Anthem. Great learning experience working in the healthcare domain.
Cons
There seem to be cliques within specific departments throughout the company which does not foster well as an inclusive work environment. Efforts should be made to convert contract workers into Full Time associates if they are the right fit and have been working in a specific department for more than 2-3 years. It will result in enormous cost savings for the company. Some departments have excessive contract workers which does not add value as contract workers may leave leave a void in the absence of cross training full time associates to acquire the knowledge and skills required. Some departments appear to be very top heavy with a majority of the associates at very senior positions. Special preference/exceptions being offered to specific associates.
